Hi @JPSalop,
Welcome to the HP Support Community
I understand you want to change the printing present to print in black and white on your HP ENVY 5020 All-in-One Printer. Not to worry I will help you to get a resolution to resolve the issue.
You have to change the settings on your Mac PC. Please follow the below steps:
- Open a document that you would like to print
- Click on File and select print or press ⌘ + P
- You will see the print dialog box
- Now click on the dropdown icon and make sure you select your printer ( if selected ignore this step)
- NOTE: The Print window might be minimized. Click the Show Details button to see all available settings.
- Make sure you check the B&W option and select black and white as default as per your requirement
- You may save the settings as a preset by clicking Presets > Save Current Settings as Preset
- By doing so and completing the print job these settings will remain default till another preset will be used in the future.
Hope this helps! Keep me posted.
Please click “Accepted Solution” if you feel my post solved your issue, it will help others find the solution. Click the “Kudos/Thumbs Up" on the bottom right to say “Thanks” for helping!
